1935 $2 English

« on: February 25, 2009, 11:18:14 pm »

Hello..

I just picked up this note as the price wasn't too bad.

Do you think this note could make VF?

The seller has it as Fine+ and I totally agree with that. I liked the note because mostly because it is fairly clean except for the creases and there are no rips/tears in the margins. Also it appears to be original.

Any comments on grade would be great..

Thanks in advance.

In my personal opinion, no, that would not make VF. In fact, I would expect a grade of F-12 from BCS. F-15 would be surprising but not impossible.

It's reasonably clean, but it's seen considerably handling, folding, etc, and those two centre creases are really distracting. Send it in and see what happens. I wouldn't suggest holding your breath for a VF though.

Thanks.. after taking a closer 2nd look I kinda came to the same conclusion.

The Grade isn't that important.. F or VF it still a nice example and better than the G grade one I have tape on I currently have.

Thanks for the input...

LOL - I can confidently agree with you on that and I haven't even seen that note yet!
